John Most, the Anarchist editor, was arrested,
by the police, in his office in this city, on Thursday,—not for any supposed
connection with the attack on the President, but for the publication in his
paper, the “Freiheit,” of articles calculated to excite riot and disturbance.
It is one of the evils of the presence of such characters in the community,
that the very action of the law required for their control and correction, gives
them the notoriety after which they are forever craving, and on which their
existence depends; but the remedy has to be applied. Like virulent diseases,
if left unchecked the ulterior consequences would be worse; but when wisely
and firmly dealt with, the danger is speedily and effectively eliminated.
